Seattle police are searching for man who has sexually assaulted at least four women near bus stops in South Seattle.

The assailant sneaked up behind the women and forcefully groped them, starting with two women Nov. 20. The latest and most threatening attack was reported early Wednesday, when the man dragged the victim into a dark driveway, fondled her and took her wallet, police said.

The first attacks were reported in the 3000 block of South Holden Street, between Interstate 5 and Beacon Avenue South, and in the 3000 block of South Bradford Street near Rainier Avenue South.

And the third attack was reported about 6:45 p.m. Monday, just after the victim had stepped off a bus. She was walking in the 9200 block of 45th Avenue South, Witt said.

Wednesday's incident was between Beacon Avenue South and 45th Avenue South on South Cloverdale Street.

Police beefed up patrols in the neighborhood and were asking for help in identifying a suspect. The man was described as about 6 feet tall, 160 pounds, black, in his late teens to early 30s and wearing a gray, hooded sweat shirt with blue jeans.

The Seattle P-I found a Saturday police report in which a 13-year-old girl said she was forcefully fondled by a man who had followed her in a car in the 8400 block of Rainier Place South. She had been walking home with her younger sisters, according to the report.

Police were uncertain Thursday if the same man attacked her. According to the girl's account, as the children reached the entrance to their apartment about 7 p.m., the man pushed her against a wall and fondled her. He fled shortly after she screamed, the police report says.

She said he was as between 30 and 40, driving a white, four-door sedan with tinted windows and gold rims, the report said.
